Option 1: I will receive only the rehab, hiring a contractor and ask the buyer to pay the property direct to the ownerOption 2: I will receive full payment (property+rehab) and my company buys the property a resell it shortly to the buyer

Do I actually need to be present in one of the units for the full year to get the loan with no problems? 

I am now investing, flipping, renting, and selling full time so I do have the time to do this. 

@Christina L.In Pennsylvania, transferring the property in your scenario will mostly likely trigger full realty transfer taxes.

If not, I'd recommend going through a title company as they have a full team dedicated to protecting us for these specific issues. 

We have a four man full time staff as long as a variety of specialty subcontractors in all of the licensed trades/ specialty construction trades.

It is a full basement stacked tri-plex is a design with 5 bedrooms on each level plus a Mother-in-law style suite on two levels next to the attached garage and with a 2 bed/2bath ADU over a detached garage. (21 rooms, 25 bathrooms). 

An added bonus is that in Philadelphia there is a 10 year tax abatement program that allows you to significantly reduce your tax bill for new construction homes or full rehab properties. 

@Jacob Mallison I'd say the best thing you could do for a Realtor is to provide leads for your clients that want to transact real estate.We're always looking for leads - especially those from referrals.You might not know this, but in most, if not all states, it is illegal for a real estate licensee to pay any kind of referral fee, finder's fee, etc to an unlicensed person.That said, if you want to find a good agent, look for someone who is full time and hungry.

So, if they're late one month, but just pay the rent each month, they will always accrue that $100 each and every month, because their full rent will never be paid on time.
